...other side, the Patriotic Front of 90 mostly black organizations forged last October has split.

They accuse him of abetting apartheid by serving as chief minister of KwaZulu, one of the ten "homelands" where blacks can exercise their political rights. The A.N.C. also condemns Buthelezi for opposing the "armed struggle" and international sanctions against Pretoria...
